Testamenta Marra (Dieri New Testament)
1Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
1Muramuraia poto ngumundru ngaiani milkila, ngaiani pratjanali ngujamani ngamalkai. Ngujamanali wombatjarai, ja ngantjanali wotiai.
2The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.
2Kulnujeli ngundraterinani nau milkila ngananani, jeruja nulu panila ngujamana warai worderu nina ngujamananto.
3But the one who loves God is known by God.
3Kulnujeli Goda ngantjanani, nina Nulia ngujamala wapaia.
4So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.
4Muramura poto ngumuja tajinandru ngaiani milkila, muramura pani mitani nganai, ja wata Goda pilki nganai, windri Kulno.
5For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many so-called gods and lords),
5Ja tanali kantji muramura worana dikanani, pariwilpani kara mitani kara, worderu Goda muramura marapu ja Kapara marapu nganai;
6yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we exist. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we exist.
6Ngaianingu windri Goda kulno nganai, Ngaperi, nunkangundru warupoto nganai, ja ngaiani nunkangu; ja windri Kapara kulno, Jesus Christus, nunkangundru warupoto nganai, ja ngaiani nunkangundru.
7But not everyone has this knowledge. Some people are still so accustomed to idols that they eat such food as if it were sacrificed to an idol. And since their conscience is weak, it is defiled.
7Wata pratjanali ngujamani ngamalkai. Palpa ngara ngaialandru japali, tanali nina muramuraia poto ngumu jeribaka tajiai, ja ngangau tanani ngara ngaiala waltowalto nganai, jeruja nau murumuru pantjiai.
8But food does not bring us closer to God: We are no worse if we do not eat, and no better if we do.
8Tajinali ngaianina Godani wata talku ngankai; ngangau ngaiani tajinani, ngaiani wata morla talku nganala nganai; ja ngaiani wata tajinani, ngaiani wata morla waka nganala nganai.
9Be careful, however, that your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak.
9Ngamalkaterianau, jurani ngurula waltowaltuni dakaterina pantjiati.
10For if someone with a weak conscience sees you who are well informed eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged to eat food sacrificed to idols?
10Kulnujeli jidna, jundru ngujamana ngamalkanani, najinani muramuraia pungani kurlini ngamanani; nau wata nunkani ngara ngaiala waltowalto ngurunguru ngankaterila nganai muramuraia poto ngumu tajila?
11So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge.
11Ja jinkani ngujamanandru ngatata waltowalto tintaterila nganai, nunkangundru Christus palina wonti?
12By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.
12Jeruja jura ngatata worangu madlentji ngankanani, ja tanani ngara ngaiala waltowalto nandranani, jura Christungu madlentji ngankai.
13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to stumble.
13Jendrangundruja, ngangau tajinali ngatatani ngakanani dakaterina jinkinani, jeruja ngato morlalu wata nganti tajila nganai ngurali, ngangau ngato wata ngatatani ngakanani dakaterina kurananto.
